How to Choose Wardrobes for a One-Room Apartment: Learning Together with a Designer
Choosing wardrobes for a one-room apartment is a responsible decision that will help to use space rationally and make the interior functional.
First of all, you should decide on the purpose of the cabinets.
In one-room apartments, built-in wardrobes are most often used in the bedroom and hallway, as well as floor or hanging cabinets in the kitchen, says Yulia Tychino .
When choosing wardrobes for the bedroom, it is important to consider their size. The optimal option is a width of 60-90 cm, height to the ceiling.
Larger wardrobes take up too much space. It is advisable to make shelves, drawers, hangers inside the compartment - this will allow rational use of space.
Both open racks and shelves and closed cabinets are suitable for the hallway. The main thing is to conveniently store outerwear and shoes. It is advisable to provide space for a mirror, shelves and hooks. The optimal depth of cabinets for the hallway is 30-40 cm.
Floor and wall cabinets are suitable for the kitchen in a one-room apartment. When choosing them, you should pay attention to the material (preferably laminated chipboard or solid wood), the presence of hinges with a closer, and division into sections.
The optimal height of floor kitchen cabinets is 85-90 cm, so that it is convenient to get dishes and food. The standard depth is 60 cm. The width depends on the kitchen layout. You can choose corner, one-sided, two-sided sections - depending on how the cabinets are arranged.
Hanging kitchen cabinets are convenient because they allow you to save space. Their optimal depth is 30 cm. The height and width can also be selected based on the features of the kitchen. It is convenient to place shelves and drawers inside the hanging cabinets.
In addition to standard cabinets, you can use narrow pull-out cabinets between household appliances and hanging shelves in the kitchen. This will allow you to use every centimeter of space as efficiently as possible.
When choosing cabinets for a one-room apartment, it is also worth paying attention to the design. The color and texture of the facades should be in harmony with the overall interior.
For a small apartment, it is better to choose light colors - white, beige, gray, milky. A dark wardrobe will visually reduce the space. The texture can be smooth, matte or imitate natural wood.
The highlight of the interior will be decorative elements on the facades - pilasters, cornices, relief patterns. But in a small apartment it is better not to overdo it, so that the cabinets do not look heavy and do not clutter the space.
By choosing and arranging cabinets wisely, you can transform a small one-room apartment into a functional and stylish living space.
The main thing is to take into account the layout features, correctly distribute the volumes and not forget about the interior design.
